Tommasi Rafaèl 2020 Valpolicella Classico Superiore is a great value fruity, full-bodied, traditional Corvina, Rondinella and Molina red blend at $20. Fragrant with fresh red berries, cherry, fine herb, vanilla, baking spice flavours and peppery notes on nose and palate. Beautifully balanced with fresh acidity, tannins are medium and fine-grained. The wine was matured for 15 months in Slavonian oak casks. Produced from a fourth-generation family estate founded in 1902 with holdings of 260 acres in the Valpolicella Classico zone.

Valpolicella Classico food pairings: hard cheeses, spaghetti Bolognese, veal piccata.
